Businesses that value their premises highly will always recognise the advantages of installing a suitable roller shutter for additional protection.

They are designed to provide that all important peace of mind that your business premises will be safe and secure outside of normal working hours. They can help to prevent vandalism and also deter burglars hunting for an easy target.

With this in mind, keeping your roller shutters maintained is vital if you are to keep your premises secure – the shutters will only be effective if they are working correctly, and any damage could ultimately end up as a weakness in the system that criminals will try to exploit. This is where Quay Facilities can help. Here are some common ways that your ruller shutters can become in need of repair:

High winds

Most roller shutters have to put up with harsh weather conditions and strong winds in the UK, meaning they can easily fall out of alignment. Any weakening within the shutter system can cause them to detach from their mounting, often with severe consequences – not only could your windows be damaged, but any unlucky passers-by could be hurt by the heavy weight of the roller shutter.

Day-to-day use

If your roller shutter is used every day, it can sometimes be taken for granted that it will always provide the protection a business needs. It may be rolled down at the end of every day without any thought about its condition, but regular use will mean that parts will inevitably become damaged and will need to be replaced.

Attemped break ins

Aside from day-to-day use, any attempted break-in can also cause damage to your roller shutters. People usually attack commercial roller shutters with a variety of tools, from crowbars to saws – there have even been some occasions where criminals have driven into them! This can lead to significant damage and would need help from industry experts like Quay Facilities.
